It’s rivalry weekend (kind of) in NCAA gymnastics! This meet, gymnastics’ version of the Territorial Cup, is a fiercely-contested affair made even more exciting by the fact that these two teams are relatively close in ranking this year. Arizona State has won the last six editions of this dual meet, but this one is hardly a guarantee for the Sun Devils.
Arizona, three meets in, is still a bit of an unknown quantity: After a bars meltdown in an opening quad meet at Ohio State, the Wildcats have only competed at home in front of their notoriously stingy home judges. Arizona State, meanwhile, is closing out a three-meet homestand and should gain a substantial advantage from hosting this matchup. The peaks of these two teams, however, are not all that different, especially considering ASU’s apparently-significant injury load. The Sun Devils are still the favorite today, but we might learn some things about how these teams look as the season progresses.
